CARONDELET VILLAGE

Carondelet Village
St. Paul, Minnesota
The Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet

"All are Welcome"   When the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet built a new home for their sisters, they invited the surrounding neighborhood to join them by providing housing, wellness, and enrichment opportunities for older adults of all faiths and backgrounds.

With this mission came the design for Carondelet Village, a continuum of care with independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care apartments.  The apartments surround Carondelet Circle - the main hub of the village designed to inspire community, wellness, and learning.  A beautiful new chapel incorporating the stain glass windows from the existing convent is the center of the spiritual wellness area.

In addition to serving the community, the Sisters felt strongly about protecting the planet, and were dedicated to environmental awareness and sustainability.  To this end, the building features a large green roof, geothermal heating, electrical connections for future PV panels, and ample natural light.
